so where are we on immigration reform? in a nutshell, we have 11 million undocumented immigrants in the united states. most rational people agree we could not and should not round them all up and deport them en masse. most rational people agree that we don't want to be left picking our own produce, plucking our own chickens, cutting our own hair, operating on our own hearts and brains. most rational people agree we need to secure our borders, throw out immigrants who have come to this country and committed crimes, attract and keep more talented foreign students and workers, not offer blank check amnesty. not punish kids for the actions of their parents and put tough but fair requirements in place as a condition to earning legal status. most rational people approve an eventual path to legalization whether with or without citizenship. so if you're sitting there, you must be asking yourself, well, if this woman says most rational people agree on all that, how come we can't get anything done? well, the answer is simple, there'

and immigration reform. reaching across the aisle has become more and more difficult and principled compromise seems like a mountain too tall to climb. this morning, i have the honor of introducing two national leaders who can hopefully help shed some light on how our legislative colleagues in washington, d.c. and the white house might be able to come together and find solutions to our nation's critical problems. let me begin with governor huntsman. he began his public service as a staff assistant to ronald reagan. he has since served four u.s. presidents in critical roles, including u.s. ambassador to singapore, deputy assistant secretary of commerce for asia, u.s. trade ambassador and most recently, u.s. ambassador to china. twice elected as utah's governor, he brought about strong economic reforms, tripled the state's rainy day fund, and helped bring unemployment rates to historic lows. in his tenure, utah was named the best state in america and the best state in which to do business. he serves as co-chai
